I plan on doing dips in the long term, but it's going to be a long time. I do 80 lbs assisted dips at the moment and those are crazy hard for me. Don't worry, it's a long term goal, but there is no way I am making it there this summer (female with a hyperactive thyroid).

I'm not capable of doing pull ups and dips (that's what happens when you wait until your 20 to get in shape, I suppose), but push ups and crunches I can do. You didn't list any lower body exercises. Is that because cycling will maintain my lower body muscle or am I just going to have to take a hit on my deadlift and squat?

This is an incredibly helpful answer. I think the blow job thing is largely linked to his smaller libido than mine, but it could have something to do with discomfort. He was raised in a strict Catholic household.

I'll try being a bit more dominant. I guess he's so timid sexually, I was afraid of scaring him off if I'm too aggressive, but he loves me, and if I ease into it, I'm sure he'll be very forgiving if I skirt any lines.

Thanks! He's so passive when it comes to telling me what he wants! Whenever I ask him what he would be interested in me doing differently in the future, he'll say he doesn't know. I'm his first sexual partner and I think he honestly doesn't know what he wants to explore.

He actively turns down blowjobs although I used to offer them regularly (and now occasionally remind him that if he ever changes his mind, I'm eager to give him one).

I've been using peanut butter as a calorie staple, but after 4 years of vegetarian bagged lunches, I honestly cannot eat it in large quantities anymore. Olive oil, or perhaps cheese or (if I can get them inexpensively) avocados might be a good choice though. I'll post my calories and macros now.

As a girl who gets hit on daily and asked out/wolf whistled about once a week, all(6) of my profile pictures, save one, are of cartoons I have drawn or my socks. I just hate the stupid self-aggrandizement of putting up a flattering/hot picture of yourself.

Macros. They are mentioned all the time and I can't seem to find much information on any of them other than protein. How much carbohydrates do I need as a 19 year old, 140 lb, 5 foot 10 in woman who is working on building muscle? I eat mostly fruits and vegetables, have a bowl of cereal every morning, and have a serving of rice, bread, or pasta maybe every other day. Is this enough?
